In chapter 3 of John's Gospel, we hear Jesus tell us "just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert so must the Son of man be lifted up so that everyone who believes in Him might have eternal life." (Jn 3:14) He was raised up, crucified and died for us as the ultimate act of merciful love! We look at how the mercy of Jesus is poured out in the sacrament of confession He established on the night of Easter. (Jn 20:19-23)
